To order in Europe:<\/a>\u00a0A bilingual edition of Kleine Tiere<\/a><\/em>\u00a0from Stadtlichter Presse, translated into German from the American English by Florian Vetsch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

From the publisher’s publicist:<\/strong> The author has called his sonnets \u201cwounds that have scabbed over.\u201d They are his rare worldly goods, bringing personal ghosts to life on the page. The poetry critic of the London-based M\u00dc Magazine<\/em>, David Erdos, has hailed them as \u201ctears for the tongue,\u201d \u201cdark diamonds,\u201d \u201csonnets of experience that Blake himself would favour.\u201d They sometimes tease with humor and hold attention with the promise of a destination, a doubtful adventure, or an obscene history lesson. And of course, mortality raises its knowing head more than once: \u201dShall we now weep \/ to leave the sun \/ behind \/ lightly pencilled in?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
